Hi

I’m using controller inheritance and I’d like to have the views  
inherited from the ancestors controllers as well.  
It seems that in an inherited controller rails only looks for views in  
the current controller path without considering the ancestors.

I’m on rails 1.2

Is the situation still as described in

[http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/65677#77391](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/65677#77391)

Anyone is aware of patches or plugins to achieve what I want?

Thanks

Paolo
